Much like Ardbeg before them, Glen Garioch is telling the tale of their rebirth (Renaissance, if you will) through a four part series that showcases the distillery's coming of age after it found life again as part of Beam Suntory's portfolio back in 1997.
This 18-year-old - the culmination of the 'story' that began with 15, 16, and 17-year-old expressions - was built upon a marriage of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks and is meant to exemplify the distillery's new(ish) house style. All we can say is...well done, folks.

Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: soft, creamy, and fruity with earthy tones and spice; a nice mix of clotted cream, mixed berry jam, and a hearty rustic biscuit; increasingly chocolaty, cooked dates, and balsamic reduction.
Palate: round, rich, and earthy with building spices and chocolate; musty old sherry casks in a dunnage warehouse; candied fennel, old fashioned hard licorice candies, and cloves; firm new leather and dried tobacco; waxy Starburst fruit candies emerge in time with stem ginger.
Finish: fresh, fruity, earthy, and spicy with more waxy fruits and subtle sherry.
Comment: there is something old school about this, partly because it is Glen Garioch (pre-Beam tinkering), and partly because it was put into glass way back in 2020; it was too expensive at $220, but at $126 on sale it is a steal!
Producer Tasting Note
"Sensational range of flavour, banoffee pie and sweet cookie dough lead to clementine, scented wood, coconut and chili, culminating in maple syrup pancake and a lingering honey finish."

Chapter 3 in the four part Renaaissance range, which began with a 15-year-old, released back in the slightly more innocent days of 2014. We've now reached 17 years and an entire new spectrum of flavours. We love Glen Garioch when it steps outside the safe zone like this.
